Don Walker Memorial Scholarship

The Don Walker Memorial Scholarship is funded by generous gifts from the Milwaukee Press Club which includes many former colleagues of Don. This scholarship honors the legacy of Donald L. Walker, an alumnus of Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He was an editor and reporter for the Milwaukee Journal and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and a founding member of the Milwaukee Newspaper Guild.

The scholarship is given to a JAMS major on the journalism track, with demonstrated financial need, full-time status, and a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. The scholarship alternates between UWM and Marquette and is not offered every year. This scholarship will not be available again until the 2026-27 school year.
